Tim Wilson, 44, won pre-selection for the Victorian seat of Goldstein this weekend, after being forced to spend the past two years without Government assistance. “I couldn’t do it. It turns out I’m totally dependent on the Government for my livelihood and sense of self,” Wilson admitted.
Right wing libertarians are more or less an oxymoron.
Nonsense. Libertarians can be left or right of center without losing the title, provided they oppose authoritarianism.
Those ARE right wing libertarians.
I don’t believe you. I’ve interacted with them many times on Reddit and Facebook, and every single one is a pro-authoritarianism GOP shill pushing for fundamentally un-libertarian nonsense like banning abortions. And since they’re so far out there, they’re also endemically conspiracy nuts.
I quit fucking with the party after running for state house because of the weird racists and conservative libertarians. That was like 15 years ago.
The state chair from then asked for my support and I went ahead and went to the state convention before the last presidential election. I was pleasantly surprised. We passed a resolution on bodily autonomy and a very christian old dude gave a speech in favor of keeping abortion legal here. One of the active members was the gal that ran our pro-choice rallies and some of the younger dudes offered to conceal carry and run security for the speakers during the march. Abortion is still legal here. It was the only thing I could even vote for in the primaries lol.
The old racist fucks were at a table alone, and weren’t thrilled.
I’ve always been more progressive on social shit and my ethics fit into leftist ideologies almost completely now, but I’ll still chill with them when the convention rolls around next month.

The problem with being such a small community is that it’s pretty easy to get fucked over. As reddit closed the nutter conservative/alt-right subs libertarians had to retreat farther back to avoid them. We did have some more hidden away places that got less infiltration.
Libertarianism is a left wing ideology. It wasn’t till nearly the end of the century that right wing cosplayers started pretending to be libertarians. After most actual libertarians and leftists had been more or less forced into hiding. And couldn’t call you out.
Right wing libertarianism isn’t a self consistent ideology. You’re against large overarching systems of authority. Apart from your pet system of overarching authority. Ooooooooookay.
The reason fashy Republicans seem to be all that’s left in the libertarian party. Is that is what so called right libertarians have always been under it all. So concerned with their own privilege. They couldn’t be bothered to actually pursue guaranteeing societal freedom. Because it’s a threat to their privilege. Rather treating anyone who wasn’t born with the same resources, and able to achieve similar outcomes. As if it was a moral failing on their part. And inevitably, when faced with society trying to provide others more freedom and the means to make use of it. Turn authoritarian/fascist, surprise!
